The site today
Trains on the reopened Ebbw Vale Line pass the site between Template:Rws and Template:Rws stations, although the station has not been re-opened (the platforms are still intact but disused).
The mooted extension of the railway line to Template:Rws would involve relaying the line from Aberbeeg that was lifted in the early 1990s.[1]
